 Sherry Dunbar, MBA '17: The Business Side of Science
When she was in middle school, Sherry Dunbar, MBA '17 was fascinated with studying organisms under the microscope. By the tenth grade, she knew she wanted to study microbiology in college. Sherry’s interest in science started at a very early age thanks to her mother who majored in zoology at the University of Maryland, which is where Sherry also found herself studying. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in microbiology & immunology from UMD, she went on to get a Ph.D. in medical microbiology & immunology.
Twelve years and one Ph.D. later, Sherry began working as a Lab Director before being recruited as a Research and Development (R&D) Scientist at Luminex, a corporation that develops, manufactures, and markets biological testing technologies in the clinical diagnostic and life science industries. After many successful years, and with an interest in learning the business side of science, Sherry had the opportunity to move to the marketing side of the company as a Director of Scientific Affairs, and later the Senior Director of Global Scientific Affairs.
